A magical, mysterious and expected by everyone holiday is approaching - New Year 2020! It's time to go home. The eternal question is which tree to give preference to: natural or artificial? Today, many people make their choice in favor of the "reusable" green beauty. Faux Christmas tree - a good choice for conservationists who oppose the cutting down of trees. Of course, the smell of pine needles inherent in a "live" Christmas tree creates a New Year's mood in the house, and decorating a real Christmas tree is much more pleasant, but today we want to tell you exactly how to choose an artificial Christmas tree and not make a mistake.

Artificial Christmas trees are produced different ways from a variety of materials, but we will consider the main types of artificial Christmas trees: PVC on a frame and cast. Cast Christmas trees are significantly more expensive than their "sisters" made of PVC materials, but such a high price is justified. These Christmas trees are made of polyethylene or polypropylene, which are known to be environmentally friendly materials. Christmas trees are cast, as a rule, in Europe, and they are of excellent quality and appearance.

An ordinary PVC Christmas tree will cost you much less. Although it is inferior in quality to cast, it will faithfully serve you for more than one year.

Christmas tree variety

PVC Christmas trees often look even better than real ones because they are fluffier and neater. These trees are a perfect example of value for money, so if you can't afford an expensive cast tree, then a PVC tree is the best solution.

And yet, how to choose an artificial Christmas tree for the new year 2020? What should be looked at first of all, so as not to get into a mess?

Let's talk about what are the selection criteria for artificial material:

  • First of all, pay attention to the needles. For cast Christmas trees and models made of PVC fishing line, they must be strong and rigid and hold well. To check if the Christmas tree is crumbling, just run your hand along the branch and shake it slightly. Attention should be paid to whole branches: they must be mobile and at the same time securely fixed.
  • The structure of the Christmas tree itself must be straight and stable (see photo below). It is better to choose spruce on a metal stand, since plastic stands break quickly enough.

Stand stability

  • Do not forget about your personal preferences. Think about which model you need. Should it be miniature, or vice versa, high and reaching to the very ceiling? What color will she be? Green, white or even hot pink? If you search well, then you will definitely find a Christmas tree that you will like.

An artificial Christmas tree must be made of fire-resistant and environmentally friendly materials, so it is necessary to say a little about safety when choosing a product. Even if you do not use burning candles as decoration for the New Year's tree, the tree must be fire resistant, because only under this condition can you hang it on it. Ask the seller for a few needles from the tree you like and set it on fire. If the needles are ignited, then you should refrain from buying.

Sample certificate of conformity

To find out what materials the Christmas tree is made of, ask the seller for a quality certificate. Pay special attention to the smell of the Christmas tree structure: if it is sharp and unpleasant, you should not buy it.

Where to buy

A great many beautiful Christmas trees, like you can find before the holidays in shopping centers, large stores and markets. Of course, in the century modern technologies A Christmas tree can be ordered online and save some money, but in this case, you should contact only trusted sellers who will definitely send you exactly what they promise.

What are the Christmas trees

In anticipation new year holidays a variety of models and types appear in stores Christmas trees from desktop, very tiny Christmas trees - to huge fir trees right up to the ceiling.

Yes, and the color of an artificial Christmas tree can be any - from light green to dark emerald. On sale there are Christmas trees of any color, gold and silver, white and red, for every taste and color.

Artificial Christmas trees have a different design. Some types have a hinged structure and open like an umbrella, other trees are assembled from branches that are inserted onto the stem-trunk of the tree.

What are artificial Christmas trees made of?

Let's try to figure out what New Year's artificial beauties are made of.

Plastic molded Christmas trees

Artificial Christmas trees can be made of plastic, these are the so-called cast Christmas trees. They are very similar in appearance to real live Christmas trees. Branches with soft needles are made of polypropylene, and each branch is cast in a separate special mold.

Christmas trees made of PVC film

Artificial Christmas trees are also made from PVC film. From a thin polymer tape with a metal base inside, better Christmas trees are obtained. This tape is passed through machines that finely cut it into needles. Stripes with needles different lengths wind on a wire and create twigs that are collected into fluffy beautiful trees.

Artificial Christmas trees from fishing line

For the manufacture of the Christmas tree, a fishing line is used. A Christmas tree made of fishing line is more fluffy than a Christmas tree made of PVC film and is more similar to natural. Pine branches are also made from fishing line, which look like bottle brushes.

Christmas trees with paper needles

Needles for Christmas trees can be made of paper impregnated with a special compound. Paper needles are wound on a wire. Such an artificial Christmas tree has a short service life and is easily ignited, even from electric garlands.

How to choose the right artificial Christmas tree

Before you buy an artificial Christmas tree, you must choose a place where you will put your New Year's beauty - on the table, on the floor, by the window, in the center or in the corner of the room. And also decide on the type of tree (fir, spruce or pine) and size, you will have a small Christmas tree or a large spruce right up to the ceiling.



Christmas tree stand

The first thing you need to pay attention to when choosing an artificial Christmas tree is a stand. The stand can be metal, plastic or wood. If the tree is more than 150 cm, then the stand should be cruciform, stable, the Christmas tree should not stagger. A metal stand is considered more reliable. The plastic stand may break under the weight of the toys.

Christmas tree quality

Pay attention to how the branches are attached, they must be well fixed, the needles on the branches must also hold tight and be rigid. When choosing a Christmas tree, pull slightly on the needles, they should not come off. Run your palm along the twig against the growth of the needles, or squeeze the twig in your palm. High-quality needles will quickly take their original shape and will not crumble. The wire on which the branches are wound should not be translucent and stick out naked.

Fire safety

A high-quality Christmas tree should be made of fire-resistant materials or treated with special anti-flammable substances that prevent fire. On the packaging of the Christmas tree, such information must be present. After all, electric garlands are hung on the Christmas tree, and if the material from which the Christmas tree is made is flammable, then the consequences can be the most deplorable.

Environmental Safety

Environmental safety is one of the conditions right choice artificial trees. The tree should not exude an unpleasant chemical smell and should not contain substances harmful to health. To do this, you need to familiarize yourself with the quality certificate, ask the seller to show you this document.

Price

Prices for artificial Christmas trees are also very diverse. There are cheap Chinese Christmas trees with paper needles on sale, but it is advisable to refuse such a Christmas tree. Most often, these trees are sold without a certificate and can be made from materials that contain substances hazardous to health.

Molded plastic Christmas trees have a higher price, since the production of such Christmas trees is more expensive. Artificial cast Christmas trees are made in Europe, they are of high quality.

The most affordable price for artificial Christmas trees made of PVC, such Christmas trees are considered safe and look elegant.

The price of a Christmas tree also depends on the quality and strength of the structure, on the size, as well as on designer features in the form of cones, luminous twigs, multi-colored needles and other decorations. But an artificial Christmas tree is not bought for one year, and therefore it is better to buy a better product that will delight you for more than one year.

Since the 19th century, people began to use artificial Christmas trees - these were conical structures made from bird feathers or animal hair. Since 1960, people began to make them from synthetic materials.

How artificial Christmas trees are made

Russian markets were flooded with Chinese Christmas trees, but 5 years ago, Russian manufacturers took up their production themselves. A quarter of Russian Christmas trees are made in the village of Pirochi, Kolomna region.

The needles of the Christmas trees are made of polyvinyl chloride film - PVC. It comes from China, as they did not learn how to make it in Russia. The film is cut into strips of 10 cm wide, which are fixed on cutting machines. Next, the strips are cut so that the middle remains intact, and parallel cuts along the edges imitate needles on both sides. Next, the machine winds the needles on the wire.

There are Christmas trees that are made from fishing line. Packs of fishing line needles are wound on a wire using a special machine and a pine branch is obtained. Some branches are painted with latex paint at the ends, creating an imitation of snow. After the branches are twisted, making paws, they are attached to a metal frame. The frame is made in a metal shop from pipes, welded together. One huge Christmas tree is created on average in two days.

To choose a Christmas tree for your home, you need to know the criteria for choosing artificial Christmas trees and their types.

Types of artificial Christmas trees

Before choosing a Christmas tree, you need to decide on the type of structure, stand and material from which it will be made.

There are 3 types of tree designs:

  1. Christmas tree constructor. It is disassembled into small parts: branches separately, the trunk is divided into several parts, the stand is removed separately.
  2. Christmas tree-umbrella with a solid trunk. It is not disassembled, but folded by bending the branches to the trunk.
  3. Christmas tree-umbrella with a collapsible trunk. The trunk is disassembled into 2 parts. The branches do not separate from the trunk.

The design of the stand is metal cruciform, wooden cruciform and plastic.

The Christmas tree can be made from:

  • plastic;
  • rubberized PVC;
  • tinsel.

Trees differ in design. It can be:

  • Canadian type;
  • blue spruce;
  • snowy;
  • fluffy and soft;
  • dense shimmering;
  • imitation of natural.

Material and quality

The material must be of high quality, without foreign odors. You can check the strength of the needles and needles by running your hand from the end of the branch to the trunk and gently pulling on the needles. In a quality tree, the branch straightens out, and the needles do not crumble.

Paper trees are not suitable for long-term use.

It is necessary to pay attention to the quality of the wire, which fastens the branches to the trunk. It should be strong, and the branch should not hang out.

Color and shade

The Christmas tree can be not only green. Exotic lovers can find a New Year's beauty in yellow, silver, blue or red. The shade of green spruce can vary. Rubberized green Christmas trees from a distance of 5 meters can not be distinguished from the real one. They are suitable for nature lovers.

Frame rack

You need to choose the right stand on which the tree will stand. If you have pets or small children, it is better to choose a metal cruciform design. It is more durable than plastic.

fire resistance

The most fire hazardous are Christmas trees made of tinsel. They are highly flammable and can burn out in minutes. Plastic products do not burn, but melt. Christmas trees made of PVC smoke a lot and have a pungent pungent odor when smoldering.

When is the best time to buy a tree?

If you want to buy a good quality Christmas tree inexpensively, buy it 2 weeks after the New Year. At this time, prices fall sharply and sellers tend to get rid of them faster. The same Christmas tree will cost 2-3 times more if you buy it a week before the New Year.
